My take on immigration reform: Assuming major reform happens in the next 4 years, they will expand non-immigrant work visas (e.g, H1B) with huge cuts to immigrant visas (majority family preference). More work competition, longer GC backlog, and your foreign spouse can't immigrate. So lol?

Modified an AMS riser with LED strip to be enclosed. Forgot to account for the washers on the glass top handle screws so I had to cut it out after. But it looks nice and I can actually capture videos from printing with enough light. I will need to steal/design some brackets to hold the LED strip.

Made the big mistake of updating my LinkedIn mobile app. Now I see reels/short videos/whatever. Imagine the usual vapid LinkedIn posts in video format. “Everyone started from zero,” shows an image of Jeff Bezos

It's amazing how Amazon shows 3 different $/unit numbers for 3 set of adjacent spools from the same listing. $/foot, $/count and $/ounce. Just make up your mind? This is Elegoo Rapid PETG BTW.

It's amazing how Bambu decided to put a camera that's worse than my Nokia E75 phone from 2010 on a $500 printer (the P1S). It does 0.5 frames per second. And you cannot upgrade it because it has a shit-powered ESP32 that cannot handle more. Gonna have to mod the printer to add lights and camera.

Finally got around to finish the programming of the ESP32 that interacts with the Nintendo Power Glove. You can now use the game pad on the Power Glove as a mediocre mouse.
